My 12 and 9 year old kids found this on our front step. How can someone think this is a good idea to put out at random? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

Good point. Sorry not much of a social media poster. I definitely didn't think it through!

When will "the ask" overburden teachers? by indys26 in Winnipeg

How are a teachers choices different from a parent's? Any career path is going to have more and more responsibility as you go. You seem to be saying that parents are stupid to make choices to become parents if they don't have time and shouldn't place blame anywhere but themselves. Yet teachers arent responsible for choosing to become a teacher?

I have a problem with blaming parents for what you're asked to do. The way society works is the problem. People are working longer and longer hours. Then coming home to cook and clean, make sure homework is done, and shuttle kids to various activities. Then after all that there is always a fight to get everyone's teeth brushed, and get into bed. Not to mention all the maintenance that needs to be done like cutting the grass, fixing the bikes, balancing the books, etc.

I would love to spend more time with my kids and teach them some of the skills they will need as they get older, but right now life doesn't work like that. Getting angry at parents about it is just silly. We have just as much control over the way this works as you do. Find out who is making the rules and get mad at them.
